1302-6.

U1302.1

Toirdhelbach Ua Briain,
king of Thomond,
the one person the most distinguished and best in victory
and prowess, a man full of charity and piety and of most
prosperity that was in Ireland in his own time, rested in
Christ. Donnchadh Ua Briain, his son, became king in
his stead.

Ferghal Mag Raghnaill,
chief of Muinnter
Eolais, was killed by his own brothers and by a part of
his sept, in treachery.

Great war took place between
Aedh, son of Eogan Ua Concobuir, king of Connacht and
the nobles of Sil-Muiredhaigh with him and Aedh, son of
Cathal Ua Concobuir and many of the sons of the chiefs of
Connacht together with the chiefs and septs of Breifni
also, along the Shannon for the space of three months or
more, until a party of the sons of kings on the side
of
Aedh, son of Cathal, made an encampment in 'The Territories' with a strong
force, so that they took many preys
and spoils. Flann, son of Fiachra Ua Floinn, future chief
of Sil-Mailruanaigh and Brian, son of Donnchadh Ua
Conchobair the Swarthy, along with many other persons,
were killed in the rere of that prey by the pursuing party.
Much of the preys was held fast and another part was
wrested. These indeed are the best that were there:
Ruaidhri, son of Cathal Ua Concobuir and Donnchadh, son
of Concobur 'of the Goblet', son of Fergal, son of Donnchadh, son of
Muircertach Mac Diarmata, one fit to be
king of Sil-Mailruanaigh for felicity, for generosity, for
prowess up to that day. This is what Donnchadh did
he went forward to the stronghold of Ua Conchobuir
and burned the palace of the kings of Connacht, along
with the houses of the stronghold. Aedh Ua Concobuir
overtakes him and wrests the prey from him and he is
killed after.

the good of his soul, there are six score days of indulgence for him, as
often as it is said by him.
